That plus booting out 2 candidates earlier for their racist and intolerant views. Those guys are crazy town. Thankfully the polling shows that people are shifting towards the NDP. Not that I ever thought I'd wind up hoping for an NDP win, but good lord no desire to see Jason Kenney as premier here. Guy will set the province back decades.

some of us like the sunshine so I wouldn't even call the weather better.

That is assuming Lapo wanted to bail all that badly. Somehow I don't think running back to the states is priority number 1 for him. Truthfully I think he'd be happy staying in Winnipeg forever provided he has the role he wants. After all, wifey wears the pants in that family.

getting out while the getting is good.

sometimes people just want to be a big fish in a small pond.

No I think someone is going to have to build one sooner or later. The reality of the situation is that we need that industry to maintain a strong economy. We're a resource producing country, that's about all we can do.

Well anyone who wants an economy should.... you paying much less in gas with the current price vs. 4 years ago? Here is the thing: the price of oil isn't horrible, but canadian oil is devalued because we can't get our product to market because of lack of pipelines, which at this point are a political issue.

Nothing and give them a heavily redacted report on their own time table because at this point they don't give a ****, they're gonna do what ever they can to protect the party.

Well I would guess it was Jeff Stoughton, forget which year exactly it was.

aren't all you media types trained in polishing turds and telling people what they want to hear? "Looks like those clowns in congress really did it again, what a bunch of clowns"

Get some valuable experience before sliding over to take over the Bomber gig when Knuckles finally hangs them up?

The appetite is probably there, but these leagues I think get too big for the britches and aim too high too soon. They figure they can start big, but they really need to start small and actually grown a fanbase before they try and get a deal with the NFL.

I am the same. I identify as a conservative, but we really desperately need to check the power of large corporations and the rich. If not then all us lowly plebs are truly ******.

I really want to see that kid do well. He made plays when he got a chance, which is more than can be said for some of the American receivers we've lined up recently.

No no no, you see the senate works for the rich donors. Silly poster thinking the United States government gave 2 shits about the people.

Well history suggests that they are different... I mean just one example off the top of my head: Al Franken is no longer a senator after his scandal.

And something else to consider, was Barr not the attorney general who kept the republicans all safe from any fall out from Iran-Contra? Seems to me that you can't take anything done by Republicans seriously. They've been rotten to the core for quite a while and will protect their own no matter what.

Hey we can easily throw a government out on their asses up here come election. It's a hell of a lot harder for Americans since there's only 2 choices and the government doesn't totally change each time there's an election. People get pissed at Trudeau he will join a long and illustrious line of Prime Ministers who pissed off the electorate and lost their jobs. We in Canada don't vote for people generally, we vote to throw the bums out.

The bits of things I've read basically are saying that Barr's assumption is because there's no direct link between Trump and the Russian government (key phrase that one) he can't possibly have been obstructing justice because there was nothing to obstruct. It's pretty clear there was collusion with Russians, just not the government. Which is stupid since everyone knows that it's the Russian Oligarchs that are basically the government anyway. Putin is smart enough to not make it official but come on, people need to stop and think for a bit rather than playing for team left or team right.

Pretty sweet set up when you can appoint the guy who gets to determine whether you did anything wrong eh? Anyone surprised that a guy Trump picked for a position based solely on his public outcry against the whole investigation summed it up in the best way possible for the president? Now obviously I haven't read the report, nor am I likely to ever since you know, not a lawyer and I am assuming there's lots of techinical stuff in there, but I suspect the evidence is far worse for Trump than this. How not when so many of his senior people are already in hot water and there were so many indictments already? I suspect it was the office saving Trump more than anything else.

Yeah but fans collectively lose their **** even with reviews anyway. That's just what fans do.

interesting that you call me a communist... Did you know that I've voted for a conservative party every election of my life so far? But I am not beholden to an ideology. If something is a problem I can see it. Things are not better for people now than they were in the 70s... maybe people of your generation, but not the following generations. I honestly feel like my generation is the last one that's been able to make something decent happen, but even then it's not as easy it was for my parents generation. The growth that previous generations experience isn't going to happen going forward. The truth is the boomer generation are greedy fucks. They were born into everything and have played the system for so long to ensure that they're going to keep it all. Once they're gone you will see a big change in how the world operates.

And how is trickle down economics working out? Increasing wealth gap, more consolidation of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people.... What they're doing now ain't working, why not try what DID in fact work in the past? You are a hardcore conservative I get that, you buy their economic principles but the truth is that those ideas only work for the wealthy no one else. The times they are a changing, the super wealthy need to start paying more or the entire thing will devolve into feudalism again. Not that they're trying to fight that, it's really their ideal. It keeps up there's going to be a repeat of the events of the french revolution.
